Profile

After qualifying as a primary school teacher I worked in a number of schools across the West Midlands in the Foundation Stage, Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2. During this time I had experience of roles such as Science Co-ordinator, Maths Co-ordinator, Student Teacher Mentor, Newly Qualified Teacher Mentor, Key Stage Leader, member of the Senior Leadership Team as well as a School Governor. These roles provided a wealth of experience of working within primary schools and early years settings from a number of perspectives. After ten years I decided I would like to return to academic study to build upon and draw upon my experiences as a primary teacher so I began to study for a Master’s of Arts in Education with a specific focus on mathematics and science. I then applied for the post of lecturer at University College Birmingham in September 2009 teaching on undergraduate programmes concerned with childhood and education and on the PGCE as a mathematics subject lecturer and Placement Tutor. In this role I lead on a number of modules as well as being a Year Manager and Professional Development Tutor.
